With over 50 years in Aboriginal affairs, I will provide some practical advice with the challenges by sharing insights in negotiating with Government, Bureaucracy and the community to achieve the outcomes you require. Working along side of western Experts and bringing them into contact with Cultural Experts, I've seen tangible outcomes that meets the needs of the projects/programs, not only in Science, but in everyday life that involves Aboriginal Cultural participation. I will also share some insights of dealing with Government, Bureaucracy, NGO's, Corporate and the community with the proposed South Coast Marine Park, that stretchers approx 1,000kms from Bremer Bay to the WA/SA border, including Esperance, which is still work in progress.
